Gallery 2


ideas begin in the mind . . . .

For an idea to become reality it has to embark on a long and sometimes frustrating journey before it is successfully translated into a finished product.

Visualisation is used to ensure that the designer's original intent is not mis-translated downstream as it is refined for engineering and manufacturing.

I can offer visualisation at any or all stages of the development of a new concept using:

  • Marker renderings,
  • Computer paintings,
  • 3D CAD models
  • 3D Computer imagery




my first experience of visualisation with the Computervision CADDS 4X display image program . . finished images were fairly low res, but did calculate shadows. The results sparked my interest .
the ruddell retro car based on the MG Magnette & the Mercury Cougar . .
the French house, the ruddell sports car and the admirer . . .
the Judge Dredd period . . . Land Rover supplied the CAD model minus wheels, I did the rest
messing about with a Lotus 49 model and front wheel cutaway for my limited edition print . . .

period crash helmet models for my Lotus 49 40th Anniversary limited edition print . . .
Jim Clark's 1967 helmet and Jochen Rindt's 1970 helmet.

some visualisation done for Rover on something called "the new Mini" . . .
these images created quite a stir - we were helping Rover's Colour and Trim department with the new Mini seat design proposals. The review team were confused because they thought these were photographs of prototype seats . . which they knew hadn't yet been built!
the original ruddell demo using Alias and 5 minutes of modelling . . .
the one hour ruddell demo using Alias and some modelling I prepared earlier . . .
the ECS Christmas card - the falling snow was a texture map but the snow on the ground was an Alias procedure, using fractals. Very clever!
a really nice CAD model from OMNI DESIGN INTERNATIONAL, one of my favourite renders because the bodywork looks so metallic.
Ford Tierra interior model done for Hsin Chong in Taiwan
close up of the steering wheel that shows off the texture mapping nicely: kevlar, leather grain and stitching
in our ceramic period, using U4ia for the colorways visualisations on the plates
this raised eyebrows when we unveiled it . . so realistic & sharp! modelled by Canewdon.
furniture design house in Munster . . we designed and modelled the chairs in the morning, added a table and some other stuff and rendered it over lunch . .
office furniture company in the Black Forest, modelled in the morning, rendered at lunch time!
continuing our furniture period, for Bouyant, with ruddell umbrella plants that never need watering
in our Bra Engineering period . . I always seemed to be out when they wanted the models digitising . . I remember that this image was completed around 1.30 in the morning whilst Genower and I prepared visuals for an apparel show that started in Koln the next day!
the old draping software on a blouse with a visualisation of the LSR security grills
planning what we would have on the Race Retro Stand 2009 . . more of the draping . .
very early wheel rendering - but the feel of the materials come across well
there was a competition to re-design Hyde Park corner. An archituectural consultancy that we were assisting proposed moving Marble Arch and rotating it round by 45° . . . As one of the finalists this image appeared on London Weekend Television
Marble Arch would sit on top of a two tier art gallery on copper covered pillars
and around the edge of Hyde Park corner would be huge sound deadening clear screens that became video walls when energised . . .
